Crochet Can be for Kids Also.

Crochet is not just for old people, this is an image which has long been replaced by the reality that most people who are now doing crochet are in the prime of life and not as some think just old people practicing a dying art.

Crochet will teach your children how to Focus, how to set goals and how to achieve those goals, and bring with a sense of purpose and beleif which is often lacking in todays world.

As with most things we need to start slow and easy so let them begin just practising some knots and the basic stitches. then move on to some squares which are easy to make quick to accomplish and can be sewn together to create that all important family blanket.

Maybe they will be able to do a Crochet Hat in time for winter.

Crochet Sweater Patterns: Selling your Work.

Crochet Sweater Patterns are a very popular product and many of you have asked what we think about you putting your work up for sale and turning your hobby into a small business.

We have posted a pattern which can be done very quickly and there are lots more, however the ones people want to buy are those complex and intricate patterns, producing sweaters which you cannot buy from the mass produced offerings in the mall.

However the down side here is these take a lot of time and you need a lot of practice so there is a lot of work hours involved in the pricing of such an item. Here is where we find it gets difficult, people only want to pay mass produced shop prices and will NOT pay for your complex and time consuming efforts with the harder Crochet Sweater Patterns.

this is therefore something you need to think very carefully about and if you do decide to turn it into a small business make sure you understand the time required.

The Pattern for this Sweater set will be on our Blog Site Free to copy soon.
